Belkin's tests showed their USB 3.0 products deliver transfer speeds up to three times as fast as USB 2.0. Theoretical performance of USB 3.0 is five gigabytes per second, or ten times the rate of USB 2.0.

Retail prices were also announced. The desktop and laptop cards will retail for $80. Four foot cables will sell for $40 each, and eight foot cables will be $50. The new products will be available in April 2010 in the US, and May 2010 in Canada.

So...

With all these Multiples of speed increases, are the connection standards still the bottlenecks in storage? Can drive mechanisms saturate this level of bandwith? I want to know if its worth the upgrade yet.
